Well, same thing. Dead wipers. I'm starting to lean towards a shorted motor. But wondering how common it is for the motor assembly to go?
What irks me the most is it is winter lol. Couldn't cr@p the bed in warmer season, nooooo.

Anyone got a video on changing the wiper motor assembly. Taking off the fake breather caps and cowl works?
What motor assembly did you purchase?

Never had the cowl off, but I hear it's easy to break the plastic clips. As for the fake breather caps; they just pop off straight up; easy way is to just pop them up with your palm against the outside overhang.

It is really easy to break the cowl, extremely cold weather tends to amplify that problem. Since you mentioned sub temps, were the wipers turned on while they were stuck to the windshield? Lot of wiper motors get cooked from that. If not I would check that you have power from the switch and to the motor before just replacing things.

Nope. They didn't get frozen or stuck but they just started to act this way.
